shore, partly sunny skies. we've seen sunshine there and up to 73 degrees. take a look at where the showers are hitting and where they're likely to pop up when i come back in a few minutes but first jessica boyington watching the "first alert" frank. >> we're watching this over in philadelphia, 9th and 10th and 11th and christian street all blocked box of a row home fire. traffic is being diverted. the streets are a little narrow and difficult to cross through. some of the detours may be difficult to get around. washington avenue is a great alternate, runs a little farther south of the scene. you can scoot on by. other than that it's mostly going to be locals that live in the area that will be affected by that, other than that, washington again is your best bet for alternate. still a little early at this 5:30 mark. also watching the blue route this is right around the germantown pike on-ramp. you can see northbound on the blue route not having any problems. checking with drive times as

well also still in the green and speed in the 60s. last day, we're checking with this accident scene on abington and susquehanna road. now to breaks news, the fire that jessica was talking about in south philadelphia. >> firefighters still in philadelphia after putting out that row home fire a few hours ago. deanna duranty is on the scene. >> reporter: as you said, firefighters say the fire is out. we're told they are checking making sure there are no hot spots. if you take a look at the building on the corner of alder and south street, it's a very narrow street. we've got video that residents shot. shorts telling that they believe the fire started either close to the rooftop, residents tell us they frequent going up on the deck. it's a fairly new deck and that

could be where the fire started and spread across the rooftop of the building. again, these are narrow streets here. these could present a challenge to the fire department. we spoke with the commissioner an hour ago. >> it's a challenging position. but we have places like this all around the city. a lot of blocks, and it's a great city and lends the character. but obviously for firefighters it can be a real challenge. >> reporter: now, teele telling us when firefighters arrived all of the people in the apartment building got themselves out. they're not sure if they had working smoke detectors in the build. another fire department is on scene to remind everyone to to make sure those batteries are working in the smoke detectors, we're told one person was transported to jefferson with minor injuries. that's the very latest.

reporting live in philadelphia, deanna durante, "nbc10 news." >> are you saying you're not prepared to -- >> what i'm saying is i'll tell you at the time. i'll keep new suspense. >> that is not the way our democracy works. >> that is a key moment from the third and final presidential debate. republican donald trump refused to promise that he will accept the election results. trump also reiterated his charge that democrats are rigging the process. >> it was all part of fiery debate. trump and hillary clinton started out clashing over the appointees they would make to the supreme court. they also sparred on immigration. and they traded barbs on whether russia is trying to influence the election. clinton says that russia's vladimir putin is trying to help trump. >> well, that's because he'd rather have a puppet -- >> no puppet. no puppet. you're the puppet. >> you condemn any interference

by russia in the election? >> by russia or anybody else. >> you condemn their interference? >> of course, i condemn. i don't know putin. >> the two clashed over the experience. trump says she has it but it's bad experience. >> clinton countersed by mentioning while she was that the situation room, while forces kill bin laden, he was doing "celebrity apprentice." clinton expressed confidence tweeting that feeling when you win three straight debates. >> pamela osborne is live in the digital operations center. what do people in the area say the morning after? >> i think at this point, a lot of people have a sense of which candidate they'll choose come november. what's interesting to after that, the people they spoke to after last night's debate seem to agree the debates themselves haven't swayed their opinions. nbc10 talked to voters who

watched the debate at the diner in upper darby. these are voters who could determine the outcome of the presidential debate. some said they didn't bother watching the debate because they don't trust the other candidate to take on issues facing the candidates. whether they watched or not, it was all people were talking about. >> we were just talking about it. we're not sure it's going to make a big difference. >> i think that people are just, frankly, a little exhausted. i mean, this entire cycle. this has been a circus. >> i don't really think it's for us in terms for the people. i don't think they care about what we need. you know, i think we're in a very bad state right now, to be honest with you. >> and we talked to another voter who says he thinks there are more questions that each candidate has to answer before the november election. we'll have even more local reaction in the next half hour. in the digital operations center, i'm pamela osborne,

city and summerton. most could see a spotty light shower for most of the westchester and lansdale. and afternoon temperatures in the 70s. not expecting heavy downpours. i'm not expecting showers for new jersey. mostly cloudy skies but there will be breaks of sunshine for trenton and easton township. more sunshine for the shore in the low 70s this afternoon with winds coming off the ocean. 80s yesterday in wilmington. record high temperature. but 78 degrees this afternoon. the chance of showers, well, their best, most likely to the west. this is where we've seen storms in northwestern pennsylvania. north central pennsylvania but that line of showers is missing us. we have showers bubbling up into south central pennsylvania. and those are the showers that may be impacting parts of our later this morning. 9:30, you see the showers across lancaster county, brooks county and lehigh county. not an all-day rainfall but a

average speed into the mid-60s. you can see in both directions. cars moving along just fine. they're dry. no reported problems. in south philadelphia, we are watching this row home fire still with closures in place. 9th and christian, 10th and christian. and 11th and christian, we are blocked off because of this. now, there are smaller streets that mainly will be needed for access from locals, people living in the area. but either way, if you do have to drive through the scene, washington avenue is a good alternate for you. other than that, being detoured around shouldn't be too difficult not seeing a lot of delays in the area, vai. >> people across our area continue to order rides from uber and lyft but the popular app-based service technically aren't street legal. when that may happen across pennsylvania. cheerleader, check. favorite, check. cover girl pinup?
